God's Eyes

After eating lunch with the overjoyed Fler´s, Jason went inside his room, in order to test out something he long since awaited.

He wanted to fuse with his soulbond and try to manifest their body parts on him!

Previously, Jason thought it was more likely that Artemis would be his first soulbond to form a fortified soul conjunction with him, but surprisingly Scorpio who still thought of Jason as his mother was the first one to fortify his connection with him.

This was most likely thanks to Scorpio´s sincerity as Jason transferred the pain it had to endure to himself to protect it.

Artemis was jealous of Scorpio´s achievement and wanted to have the same bond with Jason, but unfortunately, this would still take some time, even though the bond the two of them was already thick and unbreakable.

Once Artemis' connection with him fortified, it wouldn't surprise Jason, if their bond would be thicker than the one he had with Scorpio.

There was no particular evidence to prove that, but he just felt that it might be the case.

As such, Jason anticipated his fortified soul conjunction with Artemis, as he entered the soul world, while Artemis laid on the bed, sulking.

Within the soul world, Jason saw Scorpio running up to him.

Touching Scorpio, he felt their thick bond, with the thin fortification connecting them, when he began to test out multiple things.

His knowledge about soul fortification was minuscule or rather non-existent as he hadn't read any books about it.

The only things he knew about it were the words Till told him and it was nothing special.

He wasn't even sure, what exactly he should look out to manifest parts of Scorpio's body on him

`What exactly is a fortified soul conjunction` Jason asked himself, as he tried to remember Till´s word in addition to his own assumption.

`A fortified soul conjunction is the extremely distinct connection between the contractor and its soulbond. Both can´t be separated anymore and can even be considered a single entity, which allows the contractor to fuse with his soulbond, manifesting its body parts, like wings, claws, and so on…`

As he thought of these words, Jason was even more confused

`Does this mean Scorpio exists within me and can´t live if I die? What about the other way around? Will I die if Scorpio dies? And to what degree can I manifest Scorpio´s body parts? He is only 80 centimeters, which means I can´t cover myself with his complete exoskeleton, or can I?... Can I even manifest anything except his exoskeleton? What about its claws and stinger? How do I manifest them? `

There were too many unanswered questions but nobody could answer them right now which forced him to answer them by himself.

Trying to instruct Scorpio with a few things it should try, Jason left the soul world.

Standing up, he waited for something to happen, as he initiated Scorpio to start the experiments.

…

..

.

But nothing happened as minutes passed, which caused Jason to wonder if he made a major mistake.

`Do I have to accept Scorpio as well? Like giving him permission?`

Thinking this could be the solution, Jason tried to enter his soul world only partially, testing out if he could open a door between each other like this, but nothing happened.

Suddenly, he noticed something within his mind, where the soul world was placed as a marginal-sized golden dot that could barely be discerned by Jason.

Keeping his focus on the dot, Jason forcefully thought about opening a door between him and the soul world, as the dot began to increase in size, crushing the wall between contractor and soulbond.

It was painful but bearable, as he entered the soul world to take a look at what happened right now.

From within the soul world, he could only see Scorpio slowly approaching a large golden gate that suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a small open gap within it.

And just like that, Scorpio vanished, as Jason´s whole body began to itch violently and it felt extremely weird, as his mana core increased in size, while his physique was strengthened.

`What??` There was no pain like it was the case with every shared amplification from his soul-world and it felt more like he was infiltrated by something familiar and still strange.

Leaving the soul world, Jason looked at himself with his mana eyes, while he scanned himself at the same time.

He immediately figured out that his mana core size and physique received a boost to the 8th Adept rank and even further, while something particular resided within his mana core, which shocked him.

Even if Jason didn´t know how Scorpio entered his mana core just like that because it was connected to everything in his body.

`Is that how it works?` Jason asked himself, as felt that Scorpio could do whatever it wanted to within his body.

`Has everyone such a high amplification like I do, or is this also thanks to my unique soul?`He didn´t know for sure, but it wasn't important for the moment.

Smiling dryly, Jason wanted to test out something particular, that might be able to increase his combat prowess by a few folds.

Transmitting his thought to Scorpio within his mana core, while thinking about it at the same time, Jason felt his coccyx itching, as a searing pain spread through it.

Suddenly his jeans bulge, as he heard a ripping sound.

Running towards the mirror in his room, Jason felt something growing from his coccyx with an extremely slow speed, as he looked at the mirror in shock.

"DAMN!" Jason exclaimed with an almost childish voice when he saw a green, blueish stinger growing out of his lower back, with a size of roughly half a meter.

Even though it looked extremely cool, Jason immediately noted a downside.

It took an extremely long time to fully grow and he thought it might have something to do with the paper thing fortified soul conjunction or because it was their first try.

Trying to retract and extract the stinger multiple times, the growing speed increased slightly.

But even so, it still took a long time and Jason concluded that it was because their bond was still not completely stable and the time they knew each other was also short.

As such, Jason was confident that everything would become better with time passing.

There were only two downsides with the Fusion ability, Jason almost immediately noticed.

While being fused with Scorpio, the energy and nutrition demanded to grow the stinger seemed to be rather high, while Scorpio itself couldn't fight next to him, during their fusion, which was kinda obvious.

The stamina consumption was rather high, which meant he would have to limit its usage, if he didn't have enough energy potions or high nutrition food, but that was definitely fine, for now.

Playing around with his newly obtained ability to manifest Scorpio's body parts on his own body, Jason noted down many things he was able to do with it, as multiple combat strategies appeared within his mind.

Even so, less than half an hour passed until Jason fell onto the bed, without any energy left, as Scorpio departed from his mana core in order to return back to the soul world.

With this in mind, Jason´s mana core size and physical strength plummeted to the mid 7th Adept rank like it was before.

The questions in his mind did not decrease and rather than that, it seemed like they increased as he was curious about the golden gate and the requirements to establish a fortified soul conjunction.

It was only Sunday afternoon, as Jason jumped up from his bed because he had too many things to do when he took out food to eat before he ran back out of the house past the Fler´s that didn't even bother to ask where he was going anymore.
